Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm Google Chrome for iOS is installedOpen the iOS Settings app and scroll through the list of installed applications. Verify that Google Chrome for iOS appears in the list of apps.Affected if Chrome for iOS is not present on the device - the vulnerability does not apply to other browsers or Chrome on other platforms.

Locate the version number in Chrome for iOSOpen the Chrome for iOS app. Tap on the profile icon in the bottom-right corner, then tap on 'Chrome' or the settings gear icon. Scroll down and tap on 'Chrome' again to access version information. Alternatively, check in iOS Settings by finding Chrome in the app list and tapping on it.Affected if Unable to locate version information - the version must be verified to determine if it falls within the affected range.
-
Compare installed version to affected thresholdIdentify the full version number displayed (for example: 150.0.7871.x or earlier). Compare this numeric version against 150.0.7871.47. Any version lower than 150.0.7871.47 is within the affected range.Affected if The installed version is less than 150.0.7871.47 - the device is running a vulnerable version of Chrome for iOS.

If an update is available, it indicates the current version is outdated. Additionally, check the iOS App Store for Chrome updates.Affected if An update is available - this confirms the current installed version is below the patched release.
A device is affected if Google Chrome for iOS is installed with a version number lower than 150.0.7871.47.
